I agree, however you can reduce fraud load by rate limiting IPs for a start. I'm not sure if shop.oculus.com uses the same infrastructure as www.oculus.com (I'm assuming not). But …

Interesting tweet from Palmer ( https://twitter.com/PalmerLuckey/status/684772857625231360 ) on high load and fraud. Always interesting to see large launches not considering load/s…

This might be a better URL to link to: https://www.oculus.com/en-us/blog/oculus-rift-pre-orders-now... . Shipping to 20 countries starting March 28 and in select retailers in April…

ryanlol already mentioned you could have ran a curl to check what's being delivered. But, you can also use the Web Archive and check every domain yourself within their waterfall ch…

The second defacement reminded me of a geocities page with music playing in the background. Reference: http://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/isis-terror/lizard-squad-cl...

Thanks for the reply! I'm in Atlanta, GA. Looking forward to your growth.

I literally just ordered flowers from ProFlowers and the whole flower ordering business sucks. I can't stand seeing flowers on a site for $19.99 then on the last page seeing that s…

It was more informative than being disappointed :). Thanks for the great service.

Looking forward to trying this out! As an FYI, you're missing a period in one of your paragraphs for your email copy "...If you’re not sure what to build? ...no worries, I have adv…

I signed up about an hour ago and got my email just now.

This is exactly the comment I was looking for. Has anyone read both this and Hartl's tutorial? What are the strengths of this book over Hartl's?

Was waiting on this version to start reading your book and start learning rails. Excellent news! Looking forward to reading this.

Looks like a good time to join railscasts. Might have to look into Padrino now. Thanks for the info. From a quick search, I couldn't find anything more recent than 2 years old for …

I'm completely okay with moving from where I am to "complete n00b" :). I've always heard great things about Hartl's book, just never had the chance to sit through and keep going th…

I would absolutely love to try out hackreactor.com or devbootcamp. The problem is moving and leaving my job, which is something I'm not willing to do right now. I am taking a look …

Thanks for the feedback. I do agree that Django will probably be the best way to get into web app development. I do have some Ruby experience, so I might go back and tackle Sinatra…

I think that's the biggest key, to implement what you learn. I think now I have a good idea of smaller projects I want to work on, with a bigger project in mind. This was a great m…

This is fantastic advice. I've never thought about looking into Sinatra first. I'll definitely be checking out resources for this. Anything you'd recommend before I start my search…

Thanks for the response! I think one of the best lines of advice I've seen online was on Quora: "The language and technologies you learn are not the most important bit when it come…

The options are limitless. I'm a software developer with a very limited background in web development (think Assembly, VHDL, C/C++, Python). With technologies floating around like …

So far here's what I've seen: Language Specific ====================== PyCon https://us.pycon.org/2013/registration/ $600 + $150/training March 13-17th Big Data ===================…

Very cool, thanks for this. I've never heard of MicroConf before. Looks like 2012 had some interesting speakers. Looking forward to seeing when this takes place next year. Edit: Li…

Yup, looks like it. The regular rate isn't too bad though. For reference: https://us.pycon.org/2013/registration/

Hey all, Just wanted to create a list of technology/developer focused conferences I should be looking out for and planning to attend for 2013 (PyCon, RailsConf, CES, etc).
